Non biblical girls names

I'm looking for a non biblical girl's name. Still want something quite classic, no flower names.
And when I say non biblical we also don't want names that are thought of as being part the 'Christian community' - so most Irish names , though I love them , and european names are out - nothing associated even vaguely as 'catholic'.
Any ideas?

Chloe is in the Bible. So is Julia I think

I'm pretty sure Chloe is in the bible. Don't think it has particularly Catholic connotations though. What about Iona?

No I don't think you did! I meant things like Francesca and Mariella ( which I love but oh has very strict criteria)
Emily is pretty but I'm hoping to find a name that makes me feel more 'excited' . We're pretty stumped.

Emily? It is non biblical as in not in the Bible. I may have misunderstood your criteria though.
